As the search continues for two missing Australian brothers and their American friend in Mexico, three individuals have been taken into custody and a burnt-out vehicle has been discovered. The family and friends of Jake and Callum Robinson from Perth, along with their friend Jack Rhoad, are reaching out for help in locating their loved ones who disappeared after a camping trip in the Baja California region near Ensenada.
According to a local police commander who spoke with 9News, there is concern that the trio may have traveled too far from Ensenada and into a remote area. It has been four days since they were supposed to check into their accommodation in Rosarito, and their white Chevrolet Colorado ute has not been seen since. The fact that Callum has type one diabetes only adds to the worry and uncertainty for his family.
This morning, María Elena Andrade Ramírez, the Baja California Attorney General, provided an update on the case. She informed reporters that three Mexican individuals have been arrested in connection to the investigation. Ramírez also shared that the search is currently focused on three abandoned tents that were discovered south of Ensenada, as well as a burnt-out car that matches the description of the brothers' ute on a nearby farm.
The search area covers hundreds of square kilometers, and Ramírez emphasized that this case is of great importance to Mexican authorities. Initial reports had stated that a woman had been arrested, but it has since been clarified that she was found to be in possession of one of the brothers' mobile phones. The phone was turned on, allowing authorities to track its location through a local cell tower.
According to Mexican authorities, social media posts related to the trio's disappearance were what sparked the police investigation. It has also been reported that drugs were found in the possession of the woman who was arrested. Today, the police conducted a large search along the Baja Coast, explaining that the lack of evidence has made it necessary to cover a wide area.
Callum, who is a skilled lacrosse player living in California, has represented Australia in the sport. His mother, Debra Robinson, took to social media to appeal for any information or assistance in finding her sons and their friend. She expressed her concern for Callum's well-being as a type one diabetic and urged anyone with information to reach out.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has confirmed that they are providing consular assistance to the family. As the search for the missing trio continues, their loved ones are desperately hoping for a breakthrough and asking for the public's help in bringing them home safely.
